Starting with itch. I know they're wrapped up in the payment processor censorship thing, but it's still a hub of trans digital literature that means a lot to me. This book belongs there.

Can I share an ambition with you all?
Trans lit is what sparked my love for reading and writing again to a level I hadn't enjoyed for years. It was a beautiful part of my transition.
My ambition? That we grow. We break new ground. We leave a mark. That we find the magic in the telling.
Anyway, the 90-day Kindle Unlimited period for Our Simulated Selves ends Saturday. I'll put it onto other ebook platforms shortly after that!
23.09.2025 00:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Does Kindle Unlimited start pushing books hard a week before the KDP Select period lapses? It could be a coincidence, but it also feels like an algorithmic ploy to get authors to re-enroll and keep ebooks Amazon exclusive for 90 more days.

Our Simulated Selves hit #7 in LGBTQ+ sci-fi ๐ฎ
I got lucky with a TikTok and sold 7 copies in the past 4 days. That's a surprisingly small amount of sales to reach the top 10, but I'm overwhelmed and grateful.
I wonder how many sales it'd take to hit first place for a day? Watch out, Chuck Tingle!
Trying to explain logic paradoxes to my six year old. He claimed โitโs Opposite Dayโ so I explained why that statement must always be false. After minutes trying to get him to see my reasoning, he said โwell seeโฆ I have a sword.โ
I was too stunned to respond. This is why the world is the way it is.
Something they don't tell you about your first published book is that it will completely tank your ability to finish the second, because you are too busy constantly refreshing your store pages in case someone left a new review in the last six minutes (there never is)

The eBook is only at Amazon until the end of the month (Kindle Unlimited requires ebook exclusivity). After that expires, I'll bring it to itch, Kobi, and other ebook places. As for softcover, that's available at both Amazon and the Barnes & Noble website!

Our Simulated Selves by Nikki Null - a mind-bending quantum thriller about simulated realities, manic pixie dream girls, trans awakenings, and the struggle to overcome the simulation's controller.
I'm a trans writer who self-published a sci-fi novel!
Our Simulated Selves by Nikki Null.
A depressed programmer scanned his brain to run a dating simulation to see if he could've dated his coworker. But his simulated self has wildly different plans. It's like the Matrix, but even MORE trans.
"my headache is worse now, but it might have gotten even WORSE if I didn't have all that coffee..." (and 100 other lies we tell ourselves)
07.09.2025 18:16 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Entirely reasonable! Every episode is totally different and I love a few of them, but most of it is existentially depressing. I canโt bring myself to watch the new seasons either, because most of the dystopian technology the early seasons warned about is already here ๐ญ

Warning: This novel has been known to permanently transgenderize unsuspecting readers. if it doesn't work, better read it again just to make sure.
I wrote a trans sci-fi novel, "Our Simulated Selves"!
Ren is as oblivious to his overwhelming gender dysphoria as to the fact that the world is a creepy dating sim controlled by his miserable real-life counterpart.
A must-read for fans of Black Mirror, The Matrix, Eternal Sunshine, and estrogen!
I was hoping to promote Our Simulated Selves *without* being annoying on TikTok, but that wasn't working out... so enjoy my unhinged marketing attempt. It may not have resulted in any sales, but at least people like the ad ๐

Ooh! Check out "Our Simulated Selves" by Nikki Null.
Admittedly I may be *slightly* biased because that's me, the one who wrote it ๐
The MC is completely oblivious to being trans until halfway through the book, but we do get there!
I couldn't help but laugh when I started getting texts to my deadname from Pete Buttigieg, the day after he threw trans athletes under the bus and tried kicking the can to local sports leagues

I don't think I've said this yet, but your title and those comps are incredible! I have it preordered and can't wait to read this.

I recently released Our Simulated Selves, a queer sci-fi that's like Black Mirror on estrogen. Part cyber-thriller, part cozy, part post-apocalyptic, and 100% trans.

My passport came back correct with the gender marker changed! My previous passport expired and was misplaced in a move (probably buried in a box somewhere) so I reported it lost as well. I applied, expedited, on 7/9. Thanks to @erininthemorning.com for all her reporting on the whole passport case.

20.07.2025 05:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I knew I should've updated in November, but here we are. I got everything else legally updated back in 2021. In the application, I attached my court clerk stamped name/gender update order and the Orr class membership form from the ACLU. I'll let y'all know if it works!
19.07.2025 01:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I filed the application for an (expedited) passport renewal along with the gender marker change on July 9. Today I got the notification that the application was 'approved' and is in the mail... that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to come back with an "F" on it, but I'm hopeful.
